Re: include all files in a folder

[Joseph Chrestien]

Hi,

I'm not sure at all, but you might want to try to create a scheme function 
calling the #scandir scheme function.

Otherwise, a rather unLilyPondic solution: call a Python or bash line from 
within lilypond using scheme function syscall :
That would include something like this :

#(define mycall '"\include $(ls *.ly)" > allIncludes.ly')
pyMx=#(define-music-function (parser location)()(system mycall);; or: (system* 
mycall ) #{ #})

Then \include allIncludes in your lily file.

Good luck,
Jo

Sigh.  The web pages of LilyPond are written and translated by humans,
not some program.  They are written in Texinfo format, and an automated
process generates HTML (and other formats) from them.

Whatever language/system the web pages are supposed to be written in in
future, it will need to be managed by authors and translators of the
content.

A proposal where the questions of "who is going to do or manage the
ongoing work required to be done by various different people in future"
have no answer or a plan how to arrive at such answers is going to be
problematic.

This does not as much mean "$x is not a good approach for LilyPond web
pages" as it does that the current approach for LilyPond web pages
solves a number of problems that will still be pertinent when trying
other approaches.  If a proposal does not even try to address how that
could be done, that does not exactly provide promising prospects for
actually solving all of those problems once the project/web page is in
flight.

Nope,  Guile, Guix and the other examples I gave all have their web-site source 
code
written in scheme.

Guile's web-pages were not using sxml before the rewrite either, and it is in 
the
perspective of a redesign/rewrite that I suggested to consider scheme/sxml, and
in that respect, it does not matter actual pages are written in texinfo.

But I understand you and most people who answered my suggestion believe
it is not a good approach for Lilypond web pages, especially in regards of the
translation in multiple languages.

 Hm?  This looks for text scripts and takes the first one (if any) if

Well, at least not for getting additional input where one could work out
the problem in a manner where you feel confident about what to do.  And
that seems like the most likely course leading to changes.  At the
current point of time, I can pretty much follow what the code does but
without much of a clue how that fits into what needs to be done (or
might need to be done).  So if you have a problem with what the code
does, I'm pretty sure I can fill in any blanks as long as I know what
the blanks are.  But with regard to what we would _want_ it to do, I'd
need quite a bit more work.

And if it is I who invests that work, this is likely to end up in a bit
of "not invented here" syndrome where I form an opinion what to do that
is not particularly compatible with anybody else's.

True, but in our case we're embedding the slides in powerpoint presentations 
and powerpoint is in my experience very bad in image-handling, so we chose to 
optimize lilypond output for embedding in powerpoint (and thus match the 
physical display dimensions of the projector in the generated slide images)

Where what matters?  What exactly in the code and/or the arguments it
interprets seems strange or (currently?) unused to you?

Particularly if we want to replace this interface with a scheme function
(in LilyPond syntax) we need to figure out which parts of it are not
likely to see use anyway.

Well, I used some "newer" features like `extract-typed-music' to

Hi,

On the top of my sheet, I want to display the diagrams and the names of
the chords used in the song.
The problem is I use a different guitar tuning than the standard one
(the first string is one step lower).
Is it possible to customize chords diagrams and if so how ? I didn't
find anything about it in the documentation or in forums.

Thank you, Karlin High.

I was not aware of the documentation tarball, and I'm not sure they would
know how to deal with it. I'm hoping my solution works. I included all (I
hope) of the LilyPond Spanish html doc files. If it didn't work, I'll try
again with your suggestions.

All the best,

Hi David and David,

here is another way that I'm using at the moment. It's still work in
progress and hence far from perfect.  ;-)

I have two different include files (for projection resp. printing) with some
layout settings and things like:
% --
% (for projection: Beamer-Def.ily)
VersionIndicator = 1   %  will be used in score definitions
brBeam = {\break}
brPrint = {}
neueFolie = \pageBreak
neueSeite = {}
% --
% (for printing: Print-Def.ily)
VersionIndicator = 2
brBeam = {}
brPrint = {\break}
neueFolie = {}
neueSeite = \pageBreak
% --

Depending on what definition file is included, one of these commands will
result in a (page) break or simply nothing.
By that, you can manually optimize the layout both for printing and
projection.

For every song I create a ly file. If I want to create a document containing
multiple songs, I just copy the contents subsequently into one file. I just
have to take care that there's only one include statement at the top.

I'll try to attach an example (
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html seems to be somewhat out
of date, so I don't know where this will end up).
Most comments are in German, but I can add English explanations if anybody
is interested.

Hope to help,
Klaus

Here a more elaborate code, which could probably replace current
state. Works with default note-mode and chordmode, even mixed.
Though, questions in-line, anyone with some hints?

\version "2.18.2"

%%;; fixme we should standardize on omit-root (or the other one.)
%%;; perhaps the default should also be reversed --hwn
#(define (my-sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions seq . rest)
  ;; TODO change doc-string
  "Transform sequential music SEQ of type <>-\\markup{ foobar }
to (cons CDE-PITCHES FOOBAR-MARKUP), or to (cons DE-PITCHES
FOOBAR-MARKUP) if OMIT-ROOT is given and non-false.
"

  (define (chord-to-exception-entry m)
(let* ((omit-root (and (pair? rest) (car rest)))
   (pitches (event-chord-pitches m))
   (sorted (sort pitches ly:pitch ...,
   ;; but that is what we need because default octave for
   ;; \chords has changed to c' too?
   (diff (ly:pitch-diff root (ly:make-pitch 0 0 0)))
   (normalized (map (lambda (x) (ly:pitch-diff x diff)) sorted))
;; Question
;; why this mapping? Obviously `text' selects from this list, but why? --harm
   (texts
 (map
   (lambda (x) (ly:music-property x 'text))
   (extract-typed-music m 'text-script-event)))
   (text (if (null? texts) #f (if omit-root (car texts) texts
  (cons (if omit-root (cdr normalized) normalized) text)))

;; Question
;; is it really needed to check for ZERO-MOMENT? --harm
  (define (is-sane-ev-chrd? m)
 (not (equal? ZERO-MOMENT (ly:music-length m

  (let* ((elts (filter is-sane-ev-chrd? (extract-typed-music seq 'event-chord)))
 (alist (map chord-to-exception-entry elts)))

;; Question
;; why this filtering? Looks strange, and I see no difference --harm
;(filter (lambda (x) (cdr x)) alist)
alist))


%% EXAMPLE


%% define the new behaviour
chExceptionMusic = {
  1-\markup { \super "7<" }
  \chordmode {
a1:m4.5_\markup { m (add 4) }
c1:6_\markup { \super "major plus 6" }

Well, you can simply use PDF with a page size set to some 3/2 aspect ratio and 
increase the staff size until you have one system fit comfortably on one line. 
No need to create large pixel images.

Re: Song layout for overhead projection

[Hans Aikema]

What I use for songs for beamer projection is a combination of enlarging the 
fonts and music staffs and customizing paper-size and resolution to the effect 
of generating 1024x768 pixel PNGs with lilypond with large systems and lyrics 
so that they are suitable for projection. I also use a custom font for the 
lyrics and a transparant background.
Attached is the lilypond source that I use for customizing font and pagesizing.

The parts I used (with trial and error incrementally until I got to the desired 
result of PNGs of size 1024x768 px with lilypond command-line switch fpng) are:

#(ly:set-option 'resolution 102.4) 

and within the \paper section:
paper-width = 10\in
paper-height = 7.5\in
resolution = 300


The songs I create using a “ \repeat unfold” for the music part that ends in a 
\pageBreak to force page-break in between verses and a lyrics that is a 
concatenation of all verses.

An in-ly-file proof of concept:

\version "2.18.2"

%% define the new behaviour
chExceptionMusic = {
  \chordmode {
a1:m4.5_\markup { m (add 4) }
c1:6_\markup { \super "major plus 6" }
  }
}

%% add it to other exceptional settings
chExceptions =
#(append
  (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
(make-sequential-music
  (extract-named-music chExceptionMusic 'EventChord))
  #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

m = \chordmode { a:m4.5 c:6 }

<<
  \new ChordNames
%% use the new namings in this context
\with { chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions }
\m
  \new Staff \m

Didn't look in the source-code for now, though.

Should I go for it?

Sigh.  Text_engraver rather than Script_engraver , of course.  At any
rate, \chordmode is not just for ChordNames anyway.  You can use it fine
in a normal Staff (which would make more sense here anyway).  Or a
FretBoards context.

Better add <> instead.  Compare


\relative c' {
  e1 d c\> \bar "|." s1*0\!
} \addlyrics { What is this? }

\relative c' {
  e1 d c\> \bar "|." <>\!
} \addlyrics { What is this? }


Since most users are not able to figure out the reason behind that
problem, recommending the use of s1*0 _particularly_ at the end of the
piece is asking for trouble.

\chords \with { \consists "Script_engraver" }
{
  c_\markup {C it is}
}

does not complain but does nothing I can see with the script.  Probably
just missing some crucial incantation...

That's because Guile does not have its web site written in Texinfo.
LilyPond does.  Below is its home page copied and pasted from within
Emacs' Info reader (well, one should eventually address the image
inclusion problem but it would not make it into Email anyway).

The Info rendition of the web page is available as
.  Of course, there is also a PDF version.

Please bring yourself up to speed before suggesting changes in
infrastructure.  Experience tells us that people bringing large-scale
changes about tend not to stick around for all of the tedious ongoing
aftermath: everything ends up being maintained by "the same suspects" in
the long run, as a rough but comparatively accurate approximation.  We
are somewhat lucky here to be offering our web page in a number of
different languages: in that way, we basically find out from the start
whether continued maintenance even of the English web page content by
others than its original programmer could turn out problematic.

Guile's web page, in contrast, is English-only and fairly static.

We are happy to see two students, Nathan Chou and Jeffery Shivers,
working on LilyPond as participants in the Google Summer of Code this
year.  We hope they produce great results and stay in the developer
community afterwards.

   Nathan will tackle an annoying limitation, namely the unability of
spanners to cross voices.  His work will make a class of ugly
workarounds obsolete.  Jeffery will bring the ScholarLY package[1] to
production quality and add a LaTeX package to it, making it possible to
create beautiful critical reports from data encoded directly in the
LilyPond score.
